Chapter 523: Secret Arts of the Demon Sect
Chapter 523: Secret Arts of the Demon Sect
Black Demon Lord Hei Luo was astonished, and on the other side, the ancient Yin Demon was also filled with mixed emotions.
"Ceng Ziyi's companion was indeed inside that hall. But just now, my spiritual sense detected nothing. Could this person's cultivation have reached the astonishing level of the late Nascent Soul stage? And why is he using Earth-attribute techniques now when he was clearly using Lightning-attribute magic earlier?"
Of course, this wasn't the only thing that surprised the ancient Yin Demon.
Even though Chu Ning's appearance and the powers he exhibited were beyond his expectations, with Hei Luo present, the ancient Yin Demon believed they could handle the situation. After all, the gap between a mid Nascent Soul stage cultivator and a late Nascent Soul stage cultivator was almost impossible to bridge.
At this moment, the one facing the most difficult situation was still him.
As Chu Ning clashed with Hei Luo atop the ruins, Ceng Ziyi had already activated the Xuan Water Divine Sword and the Yellow Court Seal to attack the ancient Yin Demon.
With the experience of their previous clash, the ancient Yin Demon was well aware that he was no match for Ceng Ziyi, who possessed divine treasures.
Moreover, there was also an eighth-rank demonic beast lurking near the teleportation formation, ready to strike.
So, after merely glancing at the distant battle between Chu Ning and Hei Luo, the ancient Yin Demon dared not be distracted for a moment and focused all his attention on defending against Ceng Ziyi's attacks.
The ancient Yin Demon knew that his only chance of survival lay in holding on until Hei Luo defeated Ceng Ziyi's companion.
Once that happened, Hei Luo would surely deal with Ceng Ziyi as well.
However, what the ancient Yin Demon didn't know was that although he placed high hopes on Hei Luo, the Black Demon Lord was already secretly alarmed.
He had just witnessed Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Swords descending upon him, and although he didn't know what other tricks Chu Ning had up his sleeve, he dared not risk being enveloped by those five flying swords.
So, without hesitation, he used a displacement technique to evade the attack.
Fortunately for him, the thunderous might gathered by the Thunderous Desolation art had been blocked by the black claw, so his movement was not restricted.
But just as he reappeared, he suddenly saw a yellow light streaking toward him at incredible speed.
Before he could react, the yellow light had reached him and transformed into a yellow earth dragon, coiling and sweeping down at him.
At the same time, seven beams of dark light attacked him from different directions.
"How does this person have so many powerful magical treasures? And he hasn't even used that ancient demonic artifact in his hand yet!"
Hei Luo's heart skipped a beat, and his figure seemed to flicker like a ghost in the original spot.
It was unclear what secret art he was using, but at that moment, he managed to break free from the lock-on of the Yellow Wind Banner and the Seven Spirit Drills.
His figure appeared five zhang away, yet the initial attacks of the Yellow Wind Banner and the Seven Spirit Drills missed, as if they were striking at thin air.
"Eh?"
Chu Ning was also surprised by this turn of events.
Even with the use of a displacement technique, his powerful spiritual sense should have been able to capture the other party's aura the moment they reappeared.
But now, although he could see Hei Luo, his spiritual sense and aura-locking techniques seemed to have no effect, which was somewhat similar to his own God-obscuring Art.
Chu Ning quickly pinched a seal, controlling the Yellow Wind Banner and the Seven Spirit Drills to attack Hei Luo once more.
While Chu Ning was surprised, Hei Luo was equally astonished.
After using his secret art to evade Chu Ning's magical treasures, Hei Luo's first instinct was to recall the black claw artifact he had just used to defend against the silver lightning.
However, at that moment, he noticed that next to the black claw, a cluster of cyan flames had suddenly appeared.
Just as the black claw was about to be retracted, the cyan flames shot over and enveloped it, coating it entirely in a layer of frost.
Simultaneously, the connection between Hei Luo and the black claw became vague and unstable.
"What kind of divine flame is this?"
Hei Luo could vaguely sense that it was some kind of heavenly flame, but its color and aura were unfamiliar to him, filling him with surprise.
His heart raced as he silently chanted the incantation, attempting to force the black claw artifact to break free from the ice.
However, the black claw seemed to be welded in place, completely unresponsive to his commands.
Just then, the Yellow Wind Banner and the Seven Spirit Drills launched another round of attacks.
Seeing this, Hei Luo had no choice but to temporarily give up on controlling one of his signature artifacts.
Using his secret art once more, he evaded the incoming assault.
"Let's see how many times you can dodge!"
Chu Ning's eyes narrowed, and he let out a soft hum.
He had to admit that Hei Luo's secret art had indeed caught him off guard.
However, after witnessing it twice, Chu Ning had already discerned its weakness.
Unlike the displacement technique, this evasive art left traces that could be exploited.
Although this weakness would be challenging for other cultivators to utilize, even if they knew about it, it wasn't an issue for Chu Ning.
After all, whether it was a magical treasure or a spell attack, if one couldn't lock onto the opponent's aura, it would be much easier for the opponent to evade.
But for Chu Ning, this was not a problem at all.
Void Escape!
Chu Ning used the Void Escape technique to close the distance between them.
As his figure tore through the air, he willed it, and the Yellow Wind Banner and the Seven Spirit Drills changed direction in mid-air, once again assaulting Hei Luo.
Meanwhile, Chu Ning swung his right hand like a blade.
"Ripping Void!"
He unleashed a secret art that could briefly tear space apart. In an instant, a black fissure silently appeared before Hei Luo, the Black Demon Lord.
As soon as the Black Demon Lord moved, he saw the black fissure in front of him. "Spatial Fissure!" As a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, how could he not be familiar with this black fissure? Startled, his body momentarily slowed down, and his escape technique was automatically broken.
Seizing this fleeting moment, Chu Ning's Yellow Wind Banner and Seven Spirit Drills bombarded him. The Black Demon Lord immediately activated his defense, and a thick black light enveloped him, turning him into a black cocoon. Just as the cocoon formed, seven beams of dark light attacked first, like seven spirit snakes drilling into the black cocoon.
"Break!" Chu Ning, watching from a distance, let out a soft shout. The spiritual power of the Seven Spirit Drills suddenly erupted, and even within the black cocoon, the dark light remained dazzling. As the attacking dark light burst, seven holes appeared on the black cocoon.
The next moment, the yellow earth dragon transformed from the Yellow Wind Banner smashed into it, heavily striking the Black Demon Lord's body. A look of shock flashed in the Black Demon Lord's eyes, and black light flickered on his body again, but he was a step too slow.
"Roar!" Accompanying the yellow earth dragon's heavy strike was a dull roar, and the yellow mist suddenly exploded. The Black Demon Lord's body was sent flying backward several zhang by the impact. When his figure stabilized, his face had turned slightly pale.
What made the Black Demon Lord even more unsightly was that, in the distance, Chu Ning had already taken hold of the black demonic claw that was sealed in the cyan ice. He then put it into his storage bag, severing the Black Demon Lord's connection and senses with the claw completely.
First, he suffered a heavy blow and was injured; now, one of his signature treasures was lost. This caused the number one demonic cultivator of the East Saint Continent's eyes to turn ice-cold.
"Good! Good! I thought you had some tricks up your sleeve, but I still underestimated you! To be able to injure my true body, you do have some skills. Die!" Along with the Black Demon Lord's angry roar, a small black figure flew out from his body. It was about a foot and a half tall, and its face was identical to that of the Black Demon Lord—it was none other than the Nascent Soul of this number one demonic cultivator of the East Saint Continent.
Chu Ning was slightly taken aback, not understanding what the other party was trying to do. However, this did not stop his attack. The Seven Spirit Drills, which had just returned, shot out once more, and at the same time, he flicked his fingers, sending out a stream of Mysterious Yin Cyan Flame.
But what surprised Chu Ning even more was that the Black Demon Lord actually handed the demonic claw in his hand to his Nascent Soul. At the same time, a double-sided sickle appeared in his hand; one side was pitch-black like ink, while the other side was crystal clear.
"Yin-Yang Sickle!" Chu Ning's heart skipped a beat when he saw this ancient treasure. He had previously seen records of this demonic treasure in a demonic cultivator's manual in the West Alliance Continent. He had originally thought that this demonic treasure was in the hands of a demonic cultivator in the West Alliance Continent, but he never expected it to appear in the East Saint Continent.
As this thought flashed through Chu Ning's mind, the Black Demon Lord had already swung the Yin-Yang Sickle. Instantly, black and transparent blades, starkly different from each other, flew out from the sickle and rushed towards Chu Ning.
"The Nascent Soul and the true body are attacking at the same time?" At this moment, Chu Ning finally understood why the Black Demon Lord's Nascent Soul had left his body. "Normally, cultivators would only use their Nascent Soul as a last resort to save their lives, and even Nascent Soul stage cultivators wouldn't easily separate their Nascent Soul from their body. I have heard of some sect secret techniques that specialize in using the Nascent Soul to attack, but I never expected to encounter one here."
As Chu Ning's heart chilled, the Yellow Wind Banner and the Five Elements Spirit Swords immediately shot out, blocking the incoming sickle blades. At the same time, his figure flashed, and he vanished from his original spot using the Void Escape technique.
It turned out that Chu Ning's actions were absolutely wise. Because just as his figure moved, a black claw shadow had already attacked. The Black Demon Lord's Nascent Soul actually used a displacement technique to dodge the attacks of the Seven Spirit Drills and the Mysterious Yin Cyan Flame. And as soon as his figure appeared, he immediately launched an attack on Chu Ning.
Chu Ning dodged quickly, naturally making the Black Demon Lord's attack miss. However, the number one demonic cultivator of the East Saint Continent was relentless. The true body wielded the Yin-Yang Sickle, and the Nascent Soul controlled the black claw, both treasures attacking Chu Ning at the same time.
At the same time, the Black Demon Lord waved his hands, and various divine techniques and magic continuously bombarded Chu Ning. Chu Ning could clearly feel that after the Black Demon Lord's Nascent Soul left his body, the power of his attacks had decreased slightly. But the decrease was not significant, and he could still maintain a level above the Nascent Soul stage.
At this moment, it was as if he was facing the attacks of two Nascent Soul stage cultivators at the same time. Even with several treasures in hand, Chu Ning still felt a formidable force.
